Coffee Sack Ideas {Lavender Hearts}

Does lavender and coffee go together? It does now!

I am seeing stuffed hearts everywhere right now. I love how cute they are. I have seen paper, vintage fabric, pillows and mod podge hearts. I haven't seen any coffee sack ideas though. I purchased a lot of coffee sacks awhile back and I have been enjoying new coffee sack ideas ever since,

Some coffee sack ideas I have made are, a lined display table and a lined cooler, to name a few. I love dreaming up different things to do with them. They have the neatest prints, textures and colors.

I used a scrap piece I have saved. This one had an Aqua Stripe!

It has a farmhouse feel.

I love the raw edges. I stuffed it with Lavender buds and hand stitched the word "Love" on it.

It is so sweet. I just traced a heart and cut two piece from my scrap and sewed together leaving ends to fray. I stuffed with lavender and sewed the remainder closed. I wrote love on top as a pattern to stitch by. It is a simple project that is probably one of my favorites.

Sometimes simple is better.

There is also something about small things....It is a big package of love.

Which is fitting for anytime but Valentine's Day is just around the corner. So someone is getting a surprise!

Have any other Coffee Sack Ideas?

I would love to know!

Happy 27th Anniversary!

My love story....the short of it!

I met my husband the summer before my senior year of high school. We dated for four years and on September 14th we married. It has not been easy, but nothing is that is worth anything.

Today I celebrate 27years of love!

I believe in marriage and the vows I took that day. That is what has kept us together. Love is a strong bond but you do have to work at it. If I taught my children anything, I hope they remember that!

Enjoy your day!

Signs of Love

I love making signs. I have done quite a few in my time. Some commercial, some just for fun.

When trying to decide on a Valentine's craft for the store, I came up with these little signs.

We all love things in small packages! We all love something personalized!

I got some wood and painted it red. Applied small words on both sides for a sweet message. Distressed the wood and stacked for fun!

 

 One side says sweet the other side says heart. These are two I stacked. I had so much fun making these because of all the possibilties.  I couldn't stop!

A cute inexpensive gift with just the right words. Bingo! Something different for Valentine's Day!

What cute ideas have you come up with? I would love to know!
